Where are you from, gd2?

Oh, I must admit that I never heard of that new sub. All I always see in the docks are those Superfast-ships. I think that must be the fastest large passenger-ships, a sheik ordered about 10 of them. Never had such glorious impressions of Kiel. Regarding the status of a 'state capitol' it is pretty provincial. WW2 destroyed all old buildings and the new look is an annoying mixture of styles. Always needs a huge amount of time until something new is invented here. In my early inet-times there was not even a Compuserve-node, we got our first 'Burger King' since half a year. That's speaks for itself.
The east part where we live is more and more going down. Can't cross the main place here without being asked to buy/sell hard drugs, and you can buy that seed of the demon in nearly each 2nd vegetable- and kebab-shop. I always was satisfied from a good smoke, never let anything conquer my soul or ravage my body.

I think RoA (DSA) was the baby of Guido Henkel who left Attic after finishing part 3. It is one of my alltime favourites, part 2 I liked most. And it is one of the very few games that let you import parties in later parts...awesome, I love that.
Ahh, Albion, memories awake, heh. Did you play Amberstar and Ambermoon? I remember that it was a real quantum step regarding the grapics. Ambermoon came on 4 disks for the Amiga what had been huge at that time. And you could also import the party from part 1 to 2. Albion was kind of part 3 of that series.
